Nothing new here or very interesting but funny enough to carry the thing. The action and charm of the first film are not evident here. The sequel was just played for laughs and that is enough for me in the times of covid-19.
Spoiler: Morgan Freeman's character is totally wasted, could have been a jewel of a role but alas it is not to be... where are the screen writers these days? And Antonio Banderas as a Greek super villain?
The plot is a very basic "save the world", "save Europe" trope with very little beyond that. It has some over the top, gross, rated R stuff tossed in with some action it that seemed a bit forced but overall okay. It is a comedy with some stupid but fairly good laughs and Salma Hayek looks amazing as the eye candy. There is still some chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Samuel Jackson so I was very happy to waste the time watching it. There is virtually nothing else out there in the theaters to watch right now and I was itching to see something so this had to do and it did okay.
